We should try not to sell Bert to Everton as it'll force them to let go of Baines and he'll probably end up at United. Shaw and Bert can compete for places next season when Cole leaves.

Strike 7,504 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Don't see it happening in January. Also, Bertrand will be allowed to leave? That doesn't sit right with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Don't see it happening in January. Also, Bertrand will be allowed to leave? That doesn't sit right with me.The guy isn't playing so it's only right he moves on.It he wants to go to the world cup he has to come.It does happen that players get a big move and then all of a sudden get called up, but Lallana, Lambert and Rodriguez have all been called up from Southampton. What Shaw needs is to keep playing well and getting minutes, and he might not get them here.What he might get is a chance in the Champions League though.Really want to get this guy though. Ticks every box and we need an English core of players at this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"That's not something we control."But in this individual case he is not a player we are willing to sell. In a sporting manner, he is not for sale."

Special Juan 28,153 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Tremendous potential, but as said, the midfielder and striker is more of a problem area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Kaiser 77 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 It will be great move for us if we sign him. We will get good DL for the next 10 years and he se better then Bertrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't always get to choose when you buy talent, you have to strike when they're available and who are we realistically going to get in January? This guy is an absolute no-brainer and I've seen no evidence to suggest that we couldn't get this guy and still have money for these other positions especially when you factor in his age (the length of the contract) and wages, plus the money saved on getting Bertrand off the books in January and a reduction in Cole's wages in the summer.THIS is the type of transfer the club should be making. He might not sell shirts, but he'll win you titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 This has to happen. I know people say that maybe a midfielder and another foward are more important but with Luke Shaw the LB position is fixed for the next decade and more.

I'd be more than happy for Azpilicueta to have the RB position. He's a quality player and should be our RB right now. Then we have Wallace/Kane etc to try work their way into the team/squad.
